In general, you can visit WineOccasions.Ca on the Web without telling us who you are or revealing any specific information about yourself. WineOccasions.Ca does gather limited generic data about web site visits. There are two kinds of information that we collect: Site Visit Data and Personally Identifiable Information, voluntarily submitted to WineOccasions.Ca by you.

Site Visit Data

We analyze the visit data for trends and statistics (e.g. so we know which are the most and least visited pages on the site), and then we discard it. This information is used to improve the content and organization of this site based upon traffic patterns in visitor preference.

WineOccasions.Ca will not collect any personally identifiable information about you (that is, your name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address) unless you provide it to us voluntarily (during ordering for example). If you choose to give WineOccasions.Ca personally identifiable information to correspond with you, this is the only way we will use this information. If you do not want your personally identifiable information collected, then please do not submit it to us via the web site. If you have already submitted information and would like us to remove it from our records, please contact us.
